Message ID: MC970128
We are announcing the connect your own virtual network with hosted machine group feature for Power Automate for Desktop. This feature will enable users to run desktop flows using a hosted machine group connected to their own virtual network (VNet) to execute RPA jobs that require access to on-premises networks. This feature will reach general availability on January 31, 2025.
How does this affect me?
Users can now seamlessly integrate a hosted machine group (HMG) with their own VNet. This integration enables users to run desktop flows and execute RPA jobs that require access to on-premises networks. By leveraging their own VNet, users can ensure secure and reliable connectivity between the hosted machine groups and the on-premises networks.
What do I need to do to prepare?
This message is for awareness and no action is required.
